d ar Sir-Having lived in South America for
a number of years, and having been greatly
benefited by the use of what known as the
Moxie Nerve Food, / can heartily endorse the
many ties imonials you have received concern
ing the good results obtained by using MOXIE.
i know 1t is used in hospitals at Lima, Choir
ROLLS, Gallo, VALPARAISO, Santiago, and IN
every place / have been on that coast. In
cases of general debility and fever 1t is the
best and surest remedy. Taken as beverage
1t is superior to all. In my own case fourteen
years ago, when residing in Lima, l was
brought down TO a perfect shadow by fever.
DR.. A. Wendall recommended the use OF the
extract now known as Moxie Nerve Food i
gained health and strength rapidly. / am sure
IL the workingmen of this country would use
the above extract as a beverage, inste ad of
beer or whisky, they would be better in

so because know whereof speak.

Personal Liberty.

Well let us at least get it fixed
that personal liberty docs not
mean personal license. Liberty is
the power TO act upon your own
convictions, and will SO long as
what you do is not inimical to the
community at large. De rocquc-
Vile defines liberty in worlds some,
thing like those. Now then, if i
sell II thing that is constantly pro
ductive ofawful danger so the com
munity, | cannot be said to be fun
damcntally entitled to the right or
that sort Of liberty. / believe thor
oughly in the principal Of allowing
ing communities to put themsely-
es under prohibition by majority
vote. That is no interference with
liberty but is simply in the interest
Of self protection.
TO speak specifically Of the pres
cnt needs of tho temperance move

ment. Temperance is such II won

many people won out of the dark
ness into the light through temyc-
rance. Temperance and religion
must go together. That beautiful
passage in the Bible ought to be Il
continual inspiration to tempe
rance workers.:
"Whcn the enemy shall come in

shall lift up II standard against
him."

After the election In August we
do hope for q change in u county,
SO much killing, cutting, etc. Why
are these things 80 prevalent? It's

of spurious drinks. Alas! it is in

the good people all over our coun-
ty will unite on this one point, and

those tears, they were not then the

They spoke more eloquently than

troubles might be Obviated.
